| Abstract | Under the influence of acoustic radiation force, particles can be trapped and deformed at the pressure node in a microfluidic channel. Based on this principle, the elastic modulus of biological cells can be estimated. In this study, a numerical framework, consisting of a boundary element model for acoustic field and an axisymmetric shell model, is developed to simulate the cell deformation under acoustic radiation force. The boundary element model is used to calculate the radiation traction exerted on the cell surface. The cell membrane deformation due to this traction is simulated by using the axisymmetric shell model. The Young’s moduli of algae and red blood cell membranes are then estimated by comparing the experimental observation with the simulated membrane deformation. It is found that the value of Young’s modulus of the red blood cell membrane is lower than that of algae cell membrane. Furthermore, for both cells, the estimated Young’s moduli are negligible compared to the bulk moduli of the cells reported in the previous studies. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
